My brand new niece was born last afternoon at 4pm! Beatriz came to bring light to our lives at a time we need so much this kind of energy!

Delcinho, one of my brothers, is the proud father of little Beatriz. It's his first child and he couldn't be happier. Of course, she arrived healthy and gorgeous, according to him. I just can't wait to meet her next weekend. As they live in Petropolis (as all my family does), one and half hours away from Rio, only on Saturday I'll be able to visit them.

There's a beautiful birth blessing written by Starhawk in her book "The Sacred Fifth Thing", that goes more or less like this (if anyone has the original version, please send it to me, my book is in Portuguese, so I translated it):

May you always find the cure whenever you need it.May you always have enough to eat and to drink and to share with others.May you find true love.May you escape from every trap prepared for you.May you have strength to survive.Be free, be strong, be yourself.Be happy, be proud of being who you are, be loved and be loving.Live among flowers, surrounded by current waters.Live to the heat of the sun, breathing pure air, nourished by the light of the moon and the stars.Understand that you are welcome, that you are a precious gift for us, blessed be.

This is something I think every human being should receive at birth. It's so beautiful and so true! When I meet my brother and my sister-in-law Alcione, I'll give it along with a gift to my little niece. That's all I wish for her in life.
